What are radioligands?
Compounds where 1 or more atoms have been replaced by a radioactive alternative
What is the usual radioligand?
tritium3H
Radioligand (does/does not) affect ligand structure and binding
does not
Radioligands can be both agonist or antagonist but generally they tend to be _________
antagonist
If the G protein-coupled receptor is GDP bound then binding of agonist is (high/low)
high
If the G protein-coupled receptor is GTP bound then binding of agonist is (high/low)
low
If the G protein-coupled receptor is GDP bound then binding of antagonist is (high/low)
high
If the G protein-coupled receptor is GTP bound then binding of antagonist is (high/low)
high

The competition binding experiment uses ____ ligands
2
What is the principle for the competition binding experiment?
to compete off the radiolabelled with the non-radiolabelled drug
What 2 things must remain constant in the competition binding experiment?
Radiolabelled ligand
Protein
The first step to competition binding experiment is to __________ receptor with a concentration of radiolabelled drug (above/below) its Kd
incubate
below
The second step to the competition binding experiment is to ___ increasing concentration of non-labelled drug

What does the IC50 represent?
Concentration of competitor required to displace 50% of the radioligand
The third step to the competition binding experiment is to draw a graph to calculate _____
IC50
What is the Cheng Prusoff equation?
Kd(competitor) = IC50/1+(concentration of radioligand/Kd(radioligand))
